Testing paste temperature
Once the therapist has tested the paste, test a small amount
on the client to check tolerance and also to prepare her for
the feeling.

Contra-actions
If a treatment is applied and the area reacts by:
swelling
blistering
developing sore areas
you must stop sugaring.
A normal reaction to sugaring is:
slight heat build-up in the area
blotchy red patches
a little itchiness.
These reactions must only be mild; any other reaction would
prevent treatment from either being carried out or being
continued.
Application of sugaring
Take up a manageable amount of paste, and if it needs
it, adjust the consistency with a few drops of water, and
mould it, to make it elastic enough to use.
With the spreading technique, massage the paste onto
the area with fingers and thumb. The skin will need to be
stretched and supported, as for wax application.
Make sure the edges are thickly enough applied to make
a lip for easy removal.
Remove the paste with a firm flicking motion – without
hurting the client.
Work over the whole area to be treated in a methodical
sequence, so that all hairs are removed.
Using antiseptic wipes and soothing lotion that is
compatible with the product used, wipe over the area.
Provide aercare and homecare advice – as per waxing.

Suitability of hair-removal products
for intimate areas
You can use any of the different hair-removal products
for intimate areas, although tweezing is best confined to
removing stray hairs aer depilation, and epilation only for a
small area.
Other methods of hair removal
Other methods of hair removal include hair-removal
(depilatory) creams, cutting or clipping (electrical depilation),
shaving, tweezing, threading and abrasion. Their use and
effects on the waxing process is the same in intimate waxing
as it is in for any waxing procedure. (See page 326 in Unit
BT6 if you took your Level 2 examinations before 2011,
